inconsistancy by the writers maybe? Idk. |
Here's my theory: Zuko was hit by the lightnig, and THEN re-directed it. He wasn't hit by the full brunt of the blast, but he was still badly hurt.
Nickelodeon (ended 2008)

For my two cents, I was glad that no one died in the finale. It's proof positive that you don't need characters pointlessly dying left and right to make an epic. Death does not always equal greatness.
I'm honestly surprised at how many people didn't like that all the major plotlines were resolved at the end; it's the last episode in the show! Of COURSE all the major plotlines will be resolved! If they didn't, then the show would feel unfinished, and just about every fan of the show would feel horribly let down! What, did you want the very end of the series, the last episode that was meant to bring Aang's story to an end, to end on a CLIFFHANGER?

Healing with water might be only somethign female waterbenders can do so.. He would finally get his one-time wish to be a metal bender (the drill). |
No, we do already know about all that stuff, and we also know that it's live action. Also, I doubt that the movies will have any new info; Shamalayn has his work cut out for him already!

Is there going to be a animated new series / spinoff or is it the fans just making it up. I don't mean the movies that are coming up. i'm talking about a animated tv series
Wow, this was a really good episode, the earthbending machine gun like technique that Aang used was uber, the converting of Ozai was kind of expected after seeing the giant lion turtle. I would have preferred Aang to bring down the comet and cause massive destruction, but meh, what you gonna do.
One thing that has got me excited though is the fact that if Aang can take away someones bending, shouldn't he be able to force someone to become another type of bender. If so than the lack of Airbenders will be solved if he just goes to an ophanage and spams the soul/energy bending technique. That or Aang is gonna have to get real busy with Katara to make a whole nation of airbender babies
Sozin's Comet (Series Finale)
I have no probs with how it ended. The whole movie (4 parter) was awesome......gj!
It was DBZ with less talking! lol

Well, remember when Iroh said that lightning travels through the stomach in that episode when he thought Zuko how to redirect lightning. As you can see in the last episode, Zuko tried to redirect the lightning but kinda got stuck at his stomach and if you watch it again, after Azula fired that lightning, you can see a bruise at his stomach. Thats why Katara had to heal Zuko near the stomach area after the fight.

I can't get over its over. THe finale is just mind bendingly amazing! The best show Nick ever made (the only good show it ever made). I just wanted to know some closures like where's Azula or Ursa. Some people say the finale is like DBZ. Well, it's not really. DBZ is senseless.
Ya, that was my overall point...I agree. -I still sometimes can watch DBZ for its mixture of action and corneyness with all the tuants,counter-tuants, cheezy but cool music, the 'next time on DBZ!!' bits, and fights that last 10 - 12 episodes (I'd sit thru 1 or 2 eps. now) and they connect more w/ punches and kicks and show more blood, bruises, and burnt clothing. -but overall Avatar was (is) a better show than DBZ... DBZ kicked *ss for a while then did not know what to do with itself as time went on ; but Avatar was consistantly very good and got better! -even tho it was rated 'G-ish'...

Haha ohh I got plenty of critism on lost, but i won't go on those forums cuz everyones WAYYYYY to crazy. And yeah yeah it's a kids show, but whhhhhhhhy =[ lol. It |
I wasn't very satisfied with the finale. I am really unhappy about the unanswered questions because it leaves room for a spinoff or a 4th season. I don't really want Avatar to have that because I think it would be a flop compared to the rest of it; it would be a stain on whatever dignity that the series has. I'm not the creators and I don't have their vision, but the big bad is gone. All that's left for them is to do a few sidequests that should have been done in the main series. What will they do now? Go into space (ala Mario and Jason) and destroy Sozin's Comet, which happens to be sentient and shoots giant laser beams? There isn't enough left to do.
I was also unhappy with the Deus Ex Machina turtle and the sudden go-nasty-evil-hate-me shift of Ozai. He went out of character from his strong silent type of fear mongering via death glare to evil maniacal maniac. Maybe that was the intent; again, I'm not the creators. But it felt inconsistent he went from dark brooder overlord to rip-clothes-off-shout-insults-DBZ-mode. I don't think that did justice to the character. It only made him appear to be evil incarnate right up against Aang's argument that he is still a human being. Maybe they were going for compare/contrast/blahblah, but I didn't really like it. Granted, we didn't realyl *see* much of his character throughout the series, but shifting from silent monolith to screaming-crazy-Freiza-esque-villain was big. Azula's shift of character was far more believable (though very sudden between her last apperance and the finale).
The fight scenes were meh. Aang and Ozai chased each other through a giant canyon, doing uber attacks while the other flailed around helplessly. That's not a fight, that's a masscre. Zuko and Azula had the best fight, but Zuko was denied his due because they wanted to include Katara. I understand that, but I don't think they did it very well. Zuko has lost more fights throughout the series than anyone and he was finally going to take his place as the Firelord by beating down his sister (he already gave up the ultimate fight to Aang). Instead of continuing the paralell between Aang and Zuko that had been going on for the entire series, they shattered it by having Zuko lose to Azula *again*. I see why they did it; they wanted Katara to chain her, for Katara to have some time in the spotlight, and for one last fork-in-the-eye shipping tease to Zutarians, but I don't like it and I think it could have been done better.
Also there wasn't enough time for the other characters. Less turtle, more Iroh plzthx. I really wanted to see some back-and-forth between Toph and Bumi. I mean who *wouldn't* like that? The two most powerful earthbenders ever arguing and braggingand just being silly.
I like Avatar a whole lot, but this finale was a let down for me. Perhaps it will grow on me, but right now I'm disappointed.
